Kingdom Hearts III released to critical acclaim like almost every other entry in the series. As a fan of the series, I had a fantastic time.

So what is it about this one that didn't sit so well with other people? Well, even those that have been with the series for every game have waited seven years for a full-sized Kingdom Hearts experience. With that kind of a wait time, some people are bound to set high expectations. Simply put, we overhyped it. Head inside for more.

Ever since it officially launched, I've been fairly critical of Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo's answer to Microsoft's Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Plus. I find the NES lineup to be mostly lackluster, despite the inclusion of classic titles such as The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Metroid. Even the ability to play multiplayer with your friends isn't a major selling point for me, seeing as I prefer single-player experiences. Aside from the occasional friendly (or not-so-friendly) bouts of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the value of Nintendo's online service just isn't there for me. At least, it wasn't until the launch of Tetris 99.

Today
Metroid fans woke up to a shocking video from Nintendo that somehow managed to disappoint and exhilarate them at the same time. Nintendo Senior Managing Executive Officer Shinya Takahashi announced that all the hard work Nintendo has put into Metroid Prime 4 over the past two years is being scrapped and the project is starting over from scratch. However, this reboot will be handled by Retro Studios, the team behind the original Metroid Prime Trilogy. How in the world did this all come to be, and what does it mean for the future of the game?

It's officially a brand new year! 2019 is sure to be another great year with exciting titles like the
Resident Evil 2 remake, Kingdom Hearts III, a new Animal Crossing, and so much more. Before we charge ahead into the new year, let's take one last moment to look back on 2018 and appreciate the games that challenged us and brought us joy and excitement. What was your favorite game of 2018? Head inside and share your picks in the comments!

https://www.gamnesia.com/articles/what-old-games-do-you-want-to-finish-in-2019#When:16:40:00ZHappy New Year, Gamnesia family. 2019 is finally here, and with it will come many new games that we've been eagerly waiting for. But with all these new games, we might get distracted from our old library. Surely we should make time for old games and not just play the newest blockbuster titles. We've collected many, many games over the years, and I say that part of our New Year's Resolution should be to finish up some of our backlogs.

You may not know this, but I'm a busy man. In fact, I'm so busy, I've been inexplicably absent from Gamnesia for over a month. So I don't really play games 100% to completion anymore, especially when it comes to Pokémon.

I've been burnt out on this series for quite some time, mostly due to how slow and tedious the games are. As a young adult that finds himself working most of the time, I needed a Pokémon game that's easier to digest. Thankfully, I think Let's Go has given me exactly what I asked for.

Game Freak's phenomenally popular Pokémon franchise has followed the same basic formula for 20 years, and with great success. However, the most recent titles, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee, introduced some major changes. Many of these changes were intended to make Let's Go more similar to Niantic's mobile hit Pokémon GO, while others were tweaks or new ideas intended to make the games more user-friendly. Naturally, many fans are divided on whether or not they like this new style. I've personally criticized a few elements, but there are other areas where Let's Go is absolutely crushing it. Click below for the five best changes!

RWBY Volume 6 has gotten off to an impressive start filled with action, confrontation, and most recently, a ton of lore. Episode 3 saw Ruby and friends finally learning the truth about Ozpin, Salem, and the gods. But questions about Remnant's past are like the heads of a hydra. Cutting one down just leads to two more growing in its place. To those who like to theorize about the future of the show, that's all the more reason to be excited. If you're caught up on the show (or just don't care about spoilers), click the jump to dive headlong into a theory about the true origins of humankind, as well as the Faunus.
